A Lamb Wins the PA 18th District

You realize she's a female?
Whiny girl will report this!
She can't play with the big boyz so she changes the rules.

I thought the leftist was a dude, Shakespeare was wrong, Ovaries or nuts, that is the question.

I love how you call the constitution the rules of the system. The electoral college was provided so every region and state would have a voice in choosing the president of the United States. You have absolutely no concept why the founders laid out this system, as close to perfection as man can make pertaining to casting votes.

Fewer people voting in my mind is a vote... no confidence in anyone running. Among casted votes Trump won, and he carried blue states to become president. You lost, deal with it.

You really don’t know what you’re talking about, do you?

Don’t worry about it, this will play out, one way or another.

She's had 14 months and still the rag girl about it.

It does get tiresome.

Fair point, but I don't think many voters switch sides in presidential elections. Hillary was an awful candidate and democratic voters didn't show up. The margin in those 3 states was 70k votes. There was no groundswell of support for Trump's agenda.

Not so. County after county that had overwhelmingly voted Democrat in previous elections went to Trump. Those counties in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin are heavily unionized. It took Democrat voters to flip for Trump in order for him to win.

I do, it will and is. Educate me, I'm willing to learn. I expect crickets. Coming to the plate, Brown Army, knock it out of the park, make Ma and Pa Army proud, and shut my mouth.

Nicely said sir.

Trump played to the lowest common denominator.

 

[vantexan]

Trump played to the lowest common denominator.

Yeah, money, as in they had a future with him, not with more of the same from Democrats.

 

[floridays]

Trump played to the lowest common denominator.

You saying Hillary and Obama cast ballots for 45?

 

[floridays]

@vantexan enjoy life and the adventure my best to you amigo.

 

[vantexan]

@vantexan enjoy life and the adventure my best to you amigo.

Thank you sir, doing just that. Georgia is great!

 

[floridays]

Thank you sir, doing just that. Georgia is great!

Savannah? My pleasure.

 

[vantexan]

Savannah? My pleasure.

Hot, humid, buggy, unsafe. I'll take the other Georgia.

As does life.

This hole? HaHAHA best to ya

 

[Frankie's Friend]

Far too often Dems will campaign as more conservative to get elected but afterwards revert to the liberal party line. I don't see Lamb trying to buck the system. He has to be hoping to get the party to support him in the future since his seat goes away in November.

Is this a play on words?

Vermont?

 

[It will be fine]

Michigan, the difference between Trump and Hillary was 13k votes. Detroit voter turnout was down 37k votes. I think it's safe to say the majority of those votes would be democratic given a decent candidate. Not many voters flipped, turnout was down, republicans win in low turnout elections.

The constitution is exactly the rules of the system, what else would you call it?


The debate here is what we should all be taking from the recent special election. I'm saying republican ideas are bad and most people agree with me. Low turnout in 2016 doesn't mean people think the republicans have the best ideas.

Baloney. Those are serious Blue States. It takes a lot of Dems to flip to win them. But yes, the vote was still close so if she had just done some campaigning there, threw them a bone, she probably would've won. Glad you admit she was a horrible candidate because to hear her tell it, and many of her supporters, the fault for losing lies squarely on anyone but her.
